34 <li>New DRI memory manager system. Currently used by the i915tex driver.
35 Other DRI drivers will be updated to use the new memory manager in coming
38 To use the new driver you'll need the most recent DRM library and drivers
39 (version
2.2 or later) and a recent xf86-video-intel driver module from X.org.
41 New features resulting from this work include:
43 <li>EXT_framebuffer_objects, render to texture
44 <li>ARB_pixel_buffer_objects
45 <li>Accelerated CopyTexSubimage, DrawPixels, ReadPixels, CopyPixels
46 <li>Accelerated texture uploads from pixel buffer objects
47 <li>Potentially texturing directly from the pixel buffer object (zero
50 <li>New Intel i965 DRI driver
51 <li>New
<code>minstall
</code> script to replace normal install program
52 <li>Faster fragment program execution in software
53 <li>Added (or fixed) support for
<a href=
"http://www.opengl.org/registry/specs/SGI/make_current_read.txt">
54 GLX_SGI_make_current_read
</a> to the following drivers:
61 <li>Added support for ARB_occlusion_query to the tdfx driver (Ian
67 <li>fixed invalid memory read while rendering textured points (bug
8320)
68 <li>fixed problems with freebsd-dri configuration (bug
8344)
69 <li>Mesa's fake glxGetCurrentContext() wasn't thread-aware
70 <li>OPTION NV_position_invariant didn't work in NV vertex programs
71 <li>glDrawPixels into a user-created framebuffer object could crash Xlib driver
72 <li>Line clipping was broken in some circumstances
73 <li>fragment.fogcoord register didn't always contain the correct value
74 <li>RGBA logicops didn't work reliably in some DRI drivers
75 <li>Fixed broken RGBA LogicOps in Intel DRI drivers
76 <li>Fixed some fragment program bugs in Intel i915 DRI driver
77 <li>Fixed glGetVertexAttribfvARB bug
8883
78 <li>Implemented glGetUniform[fi]vARB() functions
79 <li>Fixed glDrawPixels(GL_COLOR_INDEX, GL_BITMAP) segfault (bug
9044)
80 <li>Fixed some gluBuild2DMipmaps() bugs (Greg McGarragh)
81 <li>Fixed broken
"mgl" name mangling
82 <li>Indirect rending was broken for glMap* functions (bug
8899)
86 <h2>Internal code changes
</h2>
89 <li>The device driver functions ResizeBuffers and GetBufferSize have been
91 <li>OpenGL
2.0 and
2.1 support is nearly done. We need to do quite a bit
92 more testing of the shading language functions.
96 <h2>To Do (someday) items
</h2>
98 <li>Switch to freeglut
99 <li>Increase MAX_DRAWBUFFERS
100 <li>Fix linux-glide target/driver.
101 <li>Improved lambda and derivative calculation for frag progs.
